This Almond Pesto is a twist on the classic Pesto that you may be use to. I used a cashew cheese with the recipe to replace the pecorino cheese that it is traditional made with, therefore making it dairy-free but not Whole30 approved because Whole30 does not approve of any foods that are similar to the foods that you are eliminating while on the program e.g. – Pizza Crust made from almond flour/tapioca, frozen Banana and coconut cream blended to make ice cream, cashew cheese to make a paleo-ish version of something we can not consume.

The cashews need to soak for at least 5 hours in water before processing it for cheese, it resembles a ricotta type texture.

I cooked this Almond Pesto Sauce with zoodles. If you would like to know how I prepared the zoodles, take a look at my Chicken Pesto recipe.

Marianne found success with Paleo eating when she did a Whole 30 challenge with her husband in 2014. She hit her goal weight and improved her health and wellbeing. Marianne started giving Paleo makeovers to many of her families' traditional recipes and decided to share it with everyone on her Gusto Paleo blog.

Cashew Cheese is not Whole30 approved as it is trying to copy cheese which is not Whole30 approved. I guess it’s the same as making a Paleo Pizza crust with Almond flour. And Pizza itself is not Whole30 approved. thanks for that ill explain why on my post! 🙂
